Graphic Description OF tho Great
Sport Of Maine.
[Piscataquis observer.l

On Wednesday Of last week Albert Brawn
and Oscar Dunphy Of Foxcroft started up a
bear in the woods in the northern part Of the
town. between the Town Farm and Greeley's
Mills, and at once gave chase. Tracking
him with dogs, they followed him through
the forest In different directions that day and
the next, when they found themselves near
the farm house OF Ichab0d Weymouth In
Guilford. Here the party staid over night.
hearted proprietor, and renewed the search
the pursuers had been REINFORCED by the
timely arrival of Elijah and Dick Norton,
two famous Dover Nimrods, and Ed. Thayer
and Oscar Gray Of FOxcroft with more dogs.
Between and o'clock Friday afternoon
they came in sight of the object Of their pur-
suit, and instantly opened a running FIRE.
From twenty to thirty shots were discharged
before Bruin yielded to his fate. Six men
and six dogs were In at the death. The clos
ing scene occurred In Wlllimautic, not far
from the farm Of a Mr.. Brawn In that town.
Brawn and Dunphy estimate that In all
their meanderings they must have travelled
not less than seventy miles. This "bar-
barian OF the wilderness" Is supposed 10 be
one Of those that wrought such havoc with
sheep last fall along the south side OF Sebec
Lake, and to have wintered near by, that he
might resume bis devastatiOns with the
opening season. His carcass was brought 70
this place, neatly dressed, and forwarded 70
the Boston market Monday morning by rail.
The skin is large, heavily furnished and very
valuable. His gross weight was 35i pounds
fat and sleek.

tiOn Of tine Young Mems Christian Assoeia-
tion Of the United States and Dominion of
Canada win be held at San Francisco, Cal,
May 11-i5, and the seventeenth annual con-
ference Of general secretaries will be held at
Oakland, Cal, May 1920. Topics bearing
upon nearly all phases Of association work
will be presented for discussion, preceded by
brief papers from experienced members Of

twelve hundred associations on this cOnti-
nent, the attendance Of delegates win proba-

be present from foreign lands. The Earl Of
Aberdeen, prominent member Of the
Young Mems Christian Association of Lon

itors. Free entertainment will be provided
by the San Francisco Association for all
properly accredited delegates. Reduced
rates have also been secured at hotels and
boarding houses for such as desire to attend
as corresponding members, and for those
who do not care for private entertainment.
The Interstate law interposed many diff
cultles in the wey Of securing reduced rates
Of transportation, which, however, were
finally secured from various points. 1t is ex-
pected that Gen. o. o. Howard, acting presi-
dent of the San Francisco association, will
welcome the delegates on behalf. of the local
association. This will be particularly pleas
ing to the Maine delegation, as Gen. Howard
is native Of Maine. This will be the first

Working at Sorrento.
Industrial Journal.1

Sorrento seems to be the coming Maine
summer-resort, judging by the pace at which
cottage lots are selling and the manner in
which the land company is:booming its stock
in Boston. Sorrento is .distant from Bar
Harbor about 20 minutes by water, and from
II to II miles by land. 1t was formerly a
farming and wooded tract, with here and
there summer residence, built by parties
who wished to escape.the more crowded Bar
Harbor and enjoy the natural scenery. 1t
was likewise hunting and fishing ground
for guests at the Waukeag House in Sullivan,
and for tourists in the country around. Sor-
rent0 contains 967 acres, and certain Boston
parties conceived the idea of buying this tract
Of land and laying it out for summer resi-
dences. This is the foundation Of the French
